Create a simple startup script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. The trick is either to hardwire kdm to an unused console screen; or to have kdm sleep until syscons is fully up. Simple snippet from mine: #!/bin/sh # # kdm.sh -- startup script to launch kdm at reboot # KDM=/usr/local/bin/kdm if [ "x$1" = "x" -o "x$1" = "xstart" ]; then echo " kdm" (sleep 60; $KDM )& fi HTH -Christoph Sold To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
